Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, art therapy can help individuals dealing with homelessness find connections, allowing them to pinpoint specific issues they are facing and acknowledge emotional baggage, which can eventually lead to resolution. Evaluation will occur through participant questionnaire, interviews, notes related to personal observations given on the last day of the creative arts process that asks about their development of art skills and understanding; and their emotional reaction to creating a memorable piece of art that depicts the lives of those unhoused.
